After more than 1,000 hours of investigation following more than 50 tips, London police say they can’t determine if a missing sex worker is in trouble or in hiding.

Police placed photographs and information about Shelley Joy Desrochers, 42 on their missing persons website Monday, a month after they first began investigating her disappearance.

“Information received to this point in the investigation has ranged from tips that suggest Desrcochers has met with foul play to others that allege she is actively avoiding being located,” police said in a news release Monday.

Neither outcome can be substantiated or ruled out, police said.

If Desrochers is in hiding, it shouldn’t be from them, police added.

“It should be noted Desrochers is not currently wanted by police, nor is she the subject of any other investigation that might cause her to be wary of making her whereabouts known,” the release stated.

Desrochers was last seen near Hamilton Road and Rectory Street late the morning of Jan. 5.

Her family reported her missing to police Jan. 21, and friends immediately launched a campaign through social and mainstream media to find her.

Police didn’t issue a missing persons notice to the media until Feb. 1, after Desrochers failed to access her bank account three days earlier, and have been criticized by friends for their response to her disappearance.

But police reiterated Monday that nothing about the last sightings of Desrochers — either Jan. 2 in the Ernest and Bradley avenues area, or Jan 5 — was suspicious.

Desrochers is described as white, 5’2”, 141 lbs, with a medium build. She has straight, long brown hair, but that could be changed, and a tattoo of a rose on her left upper arm and another of a heart on her right upper arm, police said.

Police don’t mention on their website that Desrochers walks with one foot inward, what friends have described as a sort of pigeon-toed walk.

Anyone with information about Shelley Joy Desrochers, even if it seems insignificant. is asked to contact the London police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
